Melbourne, Sept 18 : Wondering what makes vice-presidential hopeful Sarah Palin look so fabulous as she drives the Republic effort to make John McCain US President? Well the reason is – her secret team of stylists.

According to the New York Post''s Page Six, the Alaska governor has a secretive circle of stylists who dress her for events.

For her big speech in St. Paul, where she accepted the GOP''s vice-presidential nod, this fashion-conscious team encouraged the Alaska governor to splurge on a 2,500 dollars jacket from Saks Fifth Avenue designed by Valentino Garavani, reports the Daily Telegraph.

Palin wore the top during her first big speech, where she told McCain''s delegates: "I was just your average hockey mom, and signed up for the PTA because I wanted to make my kids'' public education better."

However, she''s springing for designer labels.

A source said: "They do not want the American public to know that Palin is using stylists or that she is paying for expensive clothes this early on in the campaign."

A representative for Valentino confirmed Palin wore one of his designs during her convention speech, but said she did not buy it from a Valentino store. (ANI)
